I use Iphone 17 wifi to test the device and mobile phone communicate,but I found the wifi disconnect innormal in hign frequency. This situation is only appears in iphone 17 series, iphone 14 and 15 is ok, so I think iphone 17 wifi chip or software has bugs. the local network disconnect in hign frequency.

I use MapKit and MKDirections for driving directions. The error "Directions Not Available" appears when the two points (A and B) are outside mainland China (e.g. Tokyo → Osaka). For routes inside China (e.g. Shanghai → Beijing), the same code works. let req = MKDirections.Request() req.source = MKMapItem(placemark: MKPlacemark(coordinate: origin)) req.destination = MKMapItem(placemark: MKPlacemark(coordinate: destination)) req.transportType = .automobile MKDirections(request: req).calculate { response, error in // Tokyo–Osaka (outside China): "Directions Not Available" // Shanghai–Beijing (inside China): works } Questions: Is MKDirections intended to support only routes within the device’s region (e.g. China)? When A/B are abroad, is "Directions Not Available" expected? Is this documented? For cross-country or overseas routes (e.g. Tokyo–Osaka), what is the recommended approach—third-party routing API + drawing on MapKit? Thanks.

Hi, On macOS 26.4 Beta (25E5218f) （macOS Tahoe 26 Developer Beta ）, the network filter causes network failures or slowdowns. This manifests as Chrome failing to access websites, while Safari can access the same websites without issue. The affected websites can be pinged locally. My situation is similar to this situation.The same question link is: https://github.com/objective-see/LuLu/issues/836 Have you been paying attention to this issue? Hopefully, it can be fixed in the official release. Thank you.

I have several macOS applications that use CloudKit. I need to test and finds out what happens when the user signs out of their iCloud account. That's because the application may lose data after signing out and then signing in again. Every time I do that, it'll take 15, 20 minutes... I don't time it, but it takes quite a gigantic time to sign out as the spinner keeps rolling. Why does it take so long to just sign out? This sign out effect is untestable because it takes a long time to sign out of an iCloud account and then make changes to the code and then test again. In case you need to know, my system version is Sequoia 15.7.

I'm developing a watchOS nap app that detects when the user falls asleep by monitoring heart rate changes. == Technical Implementation == HKWorkoutSession (.mindAndBody) for background execution HKAnchoredObjectQuery for real-time heart rate data CoreMotion for movement detection == Battery Considerations == Heart rate monitoring ONLY active when user explicitly starts a session Monitoring continues until user is awakened OR 60-minute limit is reached If no sleep detected within 60 minutes, session auto-ends (user may have abandoned or forgotten to stop) App displays clear UI indicating monitoring is active Typical session: 15-30 minutes, keeping battery usage minimal == The Problem == HKWorkoutSession affects Activity Rings during the session. Users receive "Exercise goal reached" notifications while resting — confusing. == What I've Tried == Not using HKLiveWorkoutBuilder → Activity Rings still affected Using builder but not calling finishWorkout() (per https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/780220) → Activity Rings still affected WKExtendedRuntimeSession (self-care type) (per https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/721077) → Only ~10 min runtime, need up to 60 min HKObserverQuery + enableBackgroundDelivery (per https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/779101) → ~4 updates/hour, too slow for real-time detection Audio background session for continuous processing (suggested in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/130287) → Concerned about App Store rejection for non-audio app; if official approves this technical route, I can implement in this direction Some online resources mention "Health Monitoring Entitlement" from WWDC 2019 Session 251, but I could not find any official documentation for this entitlement. Apple Developer Support also confirmed they cannot locate it? == My Question == Is there any supported way to: Monitor heart rate in background for up to 60 minutes WITHOUT affecting Activity Rings or creating workout records? If this requires a special entitlement or API access, please advise on the application process. Or allow me to submit a code-level support request. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

macOS 26.4 Beta appears to have changed how built-in MacBook keyboard events are routed through IOHIDSystem. Third-party virtual HID devices loaded via DriverKit no longer receive events from the built-in keyboard. External keyboards are unaffected. This is already confirmed across multiple users: https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/issues/4402 One possible lead (from LLM-assisted code analysis, not independently verified): this could be related to a security policy referred to as com.apple.iohid.protectedDeviceAccess, which may block IOHIDDeviceOpen for the Apple Internal Keyboard via SPI transport (AppleHIDTransportHIDDevice). A "GamePolicy" check in IOHIDDeviceClass.m that gates HID device access could be involved. This is a hint, not a confirmed root cause. The impact goes well beyond a single project. Keyboard remapping on macOS is a thriving ecosystem — used for accessibility, ergonomics, developer productivity, and multilingual input. This is one of macOS's strengths as a platform. Many professionals specifically choose Mac because this level of customization is possible. If this capability is being removed without an alternative, it would significantly diminish what makes macOS attractive for power users and developers. Is this an intentional architectural change to the input event pipeline for built-in keyboards, or a beta regression? If intentional, what is the recommended alternative for developers?

Some users have switched to wearing smart rings instead of an Apple Watch, but they still want their rings to close throughout the day in Apple Fitness to keep their streaks going. I've noticed that the 3rd party smart ring apps do not affect the progress of the exercise and move rings unless the user puts on their Apple Watch and syncs with there iPhone throughout the day. Is there a way to make the progress rings update throughout the day without having to connect an Apple Watch periodically?

Hello, I have a iOS app I was looking at porting to Mac. I'm having an issue with both the Mac (Designed for iPad) and Mac Catalyst Destinations. I can't test Mac due to too many build issues. I'm trying to assign a new NSManagedObject into a NSPersistentStore. let object = MyObject(context: context) context.assign(object, to: nsPersistentStore) This works fine for iOS/iOS Simulator/iPhone/iPad. But on the Mac it's crashing with FAULT: NSInvalidArgumentException: Can't assign an object to a store that does not contain the object's entity.; { Thread 1: "Can't assign an object to a store that does not contain the object's entity."

The documentation specifies that when Contacts framework returns unified contacts that each fetched unified contact object (CNContact) has its own unique identifier that’s different from any individual contact’s identifier in the set of linked contacts and that when refetching a unified contact, that this identifier should be used. There is also an analogous identifier within the list of contactRelations, but each of these don't seem to corespondent to the unified contacts. For example, is a new contact (Sheryl Zakroff) is created in the simulator Contacts and their spouse is set to Hank Zakroff. However, the GUID created for the contactRelations identifier does not correlate to the original Hank Zakroff GUID and cannot be searched. Is this a bug or what is the indent of the contactRelations identifier? Here's a debug output of walking the unifiedContacts: Name: Hank Zakroff 2E73EE73-C03F-4D5F-B1E8-44E85A70F170 - Other : (555) 766-4823 - Other : (707) 555-1854 Name: David Taylor E94CD15C-7964-4A9B-8AC4-10D7CFB791FD - Other : 555-610-6679 Name: Sheryl Zakroff DE783BC8-7917-4138-93F6-3AF0FD4CE083 - Other : (707) 555-1854 - Spouse: <CNContactRelation: 0x60000000dd60: name=Hank M.

I am developing a macOS application that depends on noticing when the user's computer switches WiFi association, and the SSID determines specific actions. I am currently testing on Tahoe and found that using CoreWLAN can even get notifications and discover the actual SSID inside an app, as long as the app is signed with a real certificate and a corresponding profile is installed on my development machine. The app, however, installs and launches a launchctl agent, which will always be running and hence the component to discover changes and act upon them. Although app and agent both have their own bundle identifier, both configured in the portal, the agent always received a redacted SSID (nil), while the app does not. The only app entitlement currently is "com.apple.security.get-task-allow = true", which I don't think has anything to do with this. The agent has: com.apple.application-identifier com.apple.developer.team-identifier com.apple.security.get-task-allow com.apple.security.personal-information.location Both have asked for permission, and both have location services enabled in system settings. The agent runs as an LSUIElement=1, headless/background configuration. So, am I missing something, a step, or is there a fundamental restriction on an agent that makes this an impossible task? (Right now, it runs a shortcut to discover the name, but requires the user to create it, and it has side effects I'd rather not see, like the flashing indicator in the menu bar)

We began storing our users' appTransactionID as a quick lookup identifier for purchase history as it is back-dated and consistent between installs and can be signed by Apple. We've read through both the Storekit documentation and the app transfer documentation, but wanted to verify that a users appTransactionID remains consistent after an app has been transferred from one Apple developer account to another (assuming they have the proper shared secret info)? Basically, would the new developer team be seeing the same appTransactionID our current team sees for an existing user post-transfer?

Dear Apple Developer Technical Support, I am currently developing a macOS network filtering solution using NetworkExtension with NEFilterDataProvider. During implementation of the handleOutboundData logic, we are using the following verdict: NEFilterNewFlowVerdict.filterDataVerdict( withFilterInbound: true, peekInboundBytes: InboundPeekBytes, filterOutbound: true, peekOutboundBytes: OutboundPeekBytes ) However, we have encountered an issue when SMB traffic is involved. When SMB protocol communication occurs, the network connection occasionally becomes unresponsive or appears to stall when peekOutboundBytes is set to a large value. Through testing, we observed the following behavior: On some systems, reducing the peekOutboundBytes value allows SMB communication to proceed normally. On other systems, even relatively small values can still cause the SMB connection to stall. This behavior appears inconsistent across different macOS environments. Because of this, we would like to clarify the following: Is there a documented or recommended maximum value for peekOutboundBytes when using NEFilterNewFlowVerdict.filterDataVerdict? Are there any internal limits or constraints within NetworkExtension that could cause SMB traffic to stall when the peek buffer size is too large? Are there best practices for selecting appropriate peekInboundBytes / peekOutboundBytes values when filtering high-throughput protocols such as SMB? If necessary, we can provide additional information such as macOS version, test environment details, and logs. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, sangho

Hello, I'm trying to figure out why an Int is being inferred over my explicit Double I'm parsing a CSV that contains 2 tables. I don't own the data so I'm not able to change it. The first row contains one cell that's used as a title for the document The second row is empty The third row contains one cell that's used as the header for the first table There is a header row for the table There's a dynamic number of rows for this table The an empty spacer row There is a row that's used as a title for the second table There is a header row for the table There's a dynamic number of rows for this table Im able to separate and create two DataFrame's from the data without issue. And this is the initializer I'm using. DataFrame( csvData: csvData, rows: rows, types: types, options: options ) Column names and their CSV types looks like this var types: [String: CSVType] { [ // ... "Column 38": .double, // ... ] } The data in the CSV is 0 nil nil nil 2 And this is what the one of the columns in question looks like when printed ▿ 38 : ┏━━━━━━━━━━━┓ ┃ Column 38 ┃ ┃ <Int> ┃ ┡━━━━━━━━━━━┩ │ 0 │ │ nil │ │ nil │ │ nil │ │ 2 │ └───────────┘ - name : "Column 38" - count : 5 ▿ contents : PackedOptionalsArray<Int> ▿ storage : <PackedOptionalsStorage<Int>: 0x600000206360> The docs state /// - types: A dictionary of column names and their CSV types. /// The data frame infers the types for column names that aren't in the dictionary. Since types contains the column name and it's still being inferred, my assumption is that the issue involves the renaming of the header row when it has empty cells occurs after the types are checked. Edit: After setting hasHeaderRow: false from true and adjusting my row offset, the types are now being assigned correctly. I'd recommend opening a feedback enhancement where renaming columns occurs before type assignment.

Hello, I need to develop a Network Extension (Transparent Proxy) that sends data to the host application for analysis. Network Extension - XPC client Host application - XPC service I am trying to implement it with XPC. However, when attempting to connect, I see the following error in the system logs on client side. [0x1015a2050] failed to do a bootstrap look-up: xpc_error=[3: No such process] I assume the problem occurs because the Network Extension cannot find the registered XPC service. On the service side, I see the following message in the logs: 2026-02-24 13:15:36.419345+0300 localhost fgstnehost[58884]: (libxpc.dylib) [com.apple.xpc:connection] [0x100bdee70] activating connection: mach=true listener=true peer=false name=TEAM_ID.group.app_id.netfilter.xpc Entitlements Network Extension: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key> <array> <string>app-proxy-provider-systemextension</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>TEAM_ID.group.app_id.netfilter</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.xpc.mach-lookup.global-name</key> <array> <string>TEAM_ID.group.app_id.netfilter.xpc</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Entitlements host application: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key> <array> <string>app-proxy-provider-systemextension</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>TEAM_ID.group.app_id.netfilter</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.xpc.mach-service.name</key> <array> <string>TEAM_ID.group.app_id.netfilter.xpc</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Server.m @interface XPCServer () @property (nonatomic, strong) NSXPCListener *listener; @end @implementation XPCServer - (instancetype) init { self = [super init]; if (self != nil) { _listener = [[NSXPCListener alloc] initWithMachServiceName: XPC_SERVICE_ID]; _listener.delegate = self; } return self; } - (void) start { [self.listener resume]; } - (BOOL) listener:(NSXPCListener *) listener shouldAcceptNewConnection:(NSXPCConnection *) newConnection { return YES; } @end Client.m @interface XPCClient () @property (nonatomic, strong) NSXPCConnection *connection; @end @implementation XPCClient - (void) connect { self.connection = [[NSXPCConnection alloc] initWithMachServiceName: XPC_SERVICE_ID options: NSXPCConnectionPrivileged]; self.connection.invalidationHandler = ^{ [[OSLogger sharedInstance] error: "XPCClient: connection can not be formed or the connection has terminated and may not be re-established"]; }; self.connection.interruptionHandler = ^{ [[OSLogger sharedInstance] error: "XPCClient: the remote process exits or crashes"]; }; [self.connection resume]; } @end What could be the root cause of this issue?

I have an app with fairly typical requirements - I need to insert some data (in my case from the network but could be anything) and I want to do it in the background to keep the UI responsive. I'm using SwiftData. I've created a ModelActor that does the importing and using the debugger I can confirm that the data is indeed being inserted. On the UI side, I'm using @Query and a SwiftUI List to display the data but what I am seeing is that @Query is not updating as the data is being inserted. I have to quit and re-launch the app in order for the data to appear, almost like the context running the UI isn't communicating with the context in the ModelActor. I've included a barebones sample project. To reproduce the issue, tap the 'Background Insert' button. You'll see logs that show items being inserted but the UI is not showing any data. I've tested on the just released iOS 18b3 seed (22A5307f). The sample project is here: https://hanchor.s3.amazonaws.com/misc/SwiftDataBackgroundV2.zip

We use AppShortcutsProvider with a parameterized App Shortcut. One of the entities has a dynamic display title (e.g. "Everyone is searching: {keyword}") that comes from UserDefaults and is returned in EntityQuery.suggestedEntities() and entities(for:). When we change the keyword and call updateAppShortcutParameters(), the Shortcuts app updates and shows the new title. In Spotlight (Siri Suggestions), the displayed title stays on the old value (e.g. still shows "Everyone is searching: 456" after we switched to "123"). On tap, the shortcut runs with the new value (123), so the execution is correct; only the displayed title in Spotlight is stale. Question: Is this expected? Is there any API or recommended approach to invalidate or refresh the Spotlight suggestion so the displayed title matches the current parameter, or should we avoid dynamic titles for the first suggestion for better UX?

aka MKLocalSearch.Request in Swift. Today my users reported that our address auto-complete functionality was returning strange results. We narrowed the issue down to pointOfInterestFilter being set. Sample code below: MKLocalSearchRequest *request = [[MKLocalSearchRequest alloc] init]; request.region = self.region; request.naturalLanguageQuery = addressString; request.resultTypes = MKLocalSearchResultTypeAddress; request.pointOfInterestFilter = [MKPointOfInterestFilter filterIncludingAllCategories]; That last line is the problem. When I stopped setting request.pointOfInterestFilter the MKLocalSearch started working as it always had. To further hammer home the point, with request.pointOfInterestFilter unset I set resultTypes to MKLocalSearchCompleterResultTypePointOfInterest (aka .pointOfInterest) and the issue returned. It seems Apple made a change on their backend recently such that pointOfInterestFilter now overrides resultTypes.

Hi, Submitted Family Controls entitlement request a month ago for my main focus app, got approved within a day. Submitted 3 more requests for my extensions, and it has been 16 days without any word. Saw advice to file a code-level support with DTS in this similar forum: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/812934 Is there anything else I can do before filing a code-level support? Any extra info to provide? If not, can a DTS engineer please refer me for the code-level support? Thanks!

Hello, Our team submitted a request for Family Controls entitlements for our main app and four related extensions. It has now been a little over two weeks since submission, and the request is still pending review. We wanted to check if there are any recommended steps we can take on our end to help move the process forward. Any guidance or tips from anyone who have recently gone through this process would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
